The 30-year-old Northern Irishman won the Players Championship and Canadian Open, and also won the Tour Championship to secure his second FedEx Cup trophy. McIlroy finished the season with an astounding 14 top-10 finishes in 19 events played.

I am very proud of my consistency and success this season so it is an incredible honor to have my fellow @PGATour players recognize me as the Player of the Year.

McIlroy's win marks the first time since 1991 that different players received the PGA Tour's and PGA of America's respective Player of the Year awards. Koepka captured the PGA of America's honor, which is based on a point system, for his brilliant performances in major championships.
